Ralph Laurens drunken neice asks Irish policewoman to speak in English to her as recounted to the judge in Clare court case held in a PUB!.

This should go down well in the Hamptons.

Knex* · 07-01-2014 01:43PM

OK, I give up. What am I missing here?

Hande hoche! · 07-01-2014 01:45PM

Is she attractive?

Due to storm damage?

She seems like an awful wagon.

Doesn't see to be when drunk anyway.

"He consented to bail on a bond of €2,5000. "

Quality reporting.

Go home OP, you're clearly drunk.

He has promoted the cause for people with funny eye brows the world over.

She was probably combining alcohol with medications.

The scions of these wealthy Manhattan families can end up pretty messed-up.

Google Luke Weil for example - though I understand he has cleaned up his act in recent years.

Did she make an offer on the field?

In the right light - probably.

She has had her problems and has written a book about them,had some sympathy for her until the remark to the Garda.

I wonder was she being bitchy though (as in - suggesting that the Garda had a poor speaking voice/grasp of english) or was she genuinely just out of her tree and didn't know where she was and/or who might be talking to her.

The Garda could only tell for sure I suppose in what way it was aimed,maybe she only understands American English.

Kind of ironic that her hearing is held in a pub after her alchohol issues.

Only in Ireland. :rolleyes:

To be fair, if the arresting Garda was from Donegal, she may very well have been incomprehensible to a lot of people. Lots of Irish people will struggle with a strong Donegal accent.

No I'm not, and my name's not Roysh either.

+1. It was rude and stupid but I can certainly imagine her difficulty.

The late night US talk shows are going to have a field day with this.

I thought the Catherine Tate character Lauren had a niece. This thread now disappoints me.

FYP !

Why was the court held in a Pub in Ballina, Co Tipp??? They'll have some laugh about that in the Hamptons

Some of the yanks find it very difficult to understand our accents. Ive played poker in Vegas and more than once I have been told 'English only at the table' by the dealers while clearly speaking English

Also holding the court in a pub doesn't do much for the Irish stereotypes abroad:pac:

It's been that way for 20 years since the courthouse closed in Killaloe AFAIK.
